Abstract

The effect of porous support layer resistance and PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) coating thickness on ethylene/nitrogen separation of composite membranes was studied with the model of Pinnau and Wijmans〔1〕. To control the support resistance (or permeance), PES porous membranes were prepared by phase inversion process with various PES/NMP dope concentrations. The thickness of selective PDMS top layer was controlled by using a spin coater. Its cross-section and coating thickness were observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Pure gas permeation test was done with ethylene and nitrogen, respectively. The experimental result for olefin/nitrogen separation process matched well with theoretical result from the model used. The result shows that optimization between PDMS coating thickness and support resistance is important to get PDMS composite membranes with best performance.

PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) 복합막을 통한 기체분리 공정에서 다공성 지지체의 투과저항과 PDMS 코팅두께가 에틸렌/질소의 분리성능(투과도, 선택도)에 미치는 영향에 관하여 조사하였다. 이를 위해 Pinnau 등이 제시한 복합막 투과저항 모델이론식〔1〕이 사용되었다. 지지체의 투과도 또는 투과저항은 PES (polyethersulfone)/NMP(N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone) 고분자 용액의 농도를 변화시키면서 조절하였다. 복합막은 PES 지지체 위에 n-hexane에 녹인 2액형 PDMS 용액을 spin coater를 사용해 코팅하여 제조하였다. 선택층의 코팅 두께는 spin coater의 회전속도를 통해 조절하였다. 투과기체 분리특성은 단일기체 투과도 측정 장치를 통해 조사하였으며, 지지체 및 복합막의 단면구조 및 코팅두께는 SEM (scanning electron microscope)을 통하여 확인하였다 얻어진 실험결과는 복합막의 투과저항모델의 이론식과 매우 잘 일치함을 확인 할 수 있었다. 에틸렌/질소의 분리에 있어 PDMS 막 고유의 선택도를 얻기 위해서는 지지체의 투과저항과 코팅층의 최적화가 중요함을 확인하였다.
